The last kit I completed was a Halloween witch wall handing that was a Row by Row kit from Mt. Holly Quilts in New Jersey. It was paperpieced, and easy peasy. And I completed it with quotes from Shakespeare's MacBeth.

The last quilt I made from a kit was about 10 years ago. It was Amy Butler prints and the kit was made up by a local quilt shop. I fell in love with the prints and I liked the fact that they all coordinated beautifully and saved me the job of picking out all those fabrics! I could just buy the kit & go home to start cutting & sewing :)

Actually, I am working on a kit right now. I purchased a kit for Pumpkin placemats and a runner probably about 5-6 years ago. I am finally going to get them done (hopefully before Thanksgiving!). Thank you, peterstankovich@comcast.net

I haven't made a quilt from a kit as of yet but have gotten several blocks of the month from mail order shops. I am currently working on Forest Friends BOM and have ordered the Dear Jane but have not worked on it much at all.

The last kit I worked on was very weird. I won it at a quilt show. When I got home, I found that there were plenty of pre-cut pieces but no directions. I fiddled with the pieces and devised my own pattern to use them. However, one piece defied me. It was a huge half square triangle (18" on the right angle sides). That triangle was a vibrant pink fabric that was not used in any of the other pieces. I decided it could find a home in some other project.

Hmmmm... the last quilt kit I made was my first quilt ever. I messed up with cutting the fabric, had to buy more fabric to match, sewed it all by hand because I did not have a sewing machine, and probably about 3 years later completed my first quilt!! After that I was addicted and also got a sewing machine and quilting tools to save time!!! Oh! And we still have the quilt!!

As a new quilter here in rural New Zealand I found Shabby Fabrics on line and I loved Jennifer's teaching technique so I bought the Shabby Fabrics Beginners Quilt. There was heaps of fabric and even some extra for practice. Plus a cute appliqué pillow as a bonus project. The free downloads and YouTube tutorials are fantastic. I am now well and truly hooked and I quilt every day.

I have made kits before, but I can't remember the last one I did. I know I've made kits with panels in them. One was a cute Margaret Engelbritt panel. Oh I remember the was also a panel of a Christmas tree and another of a blue wreath with twinkle lights inserted from the back. Fun.

I made a Postcard from Sweden quilt from a kit from Craftsy. It was so much easier with all those colors than trying to buy each color individually. Thanks for the giveaway, grinnie1961 at gmail dot com

I've never had a quilt kit before, but have been tempted several times. There are SO many wonderful ideas, and being a quilter of over 40 years, I will never live long enough to use up all my fabrics, but continue to try! It's a skill I enjoy just about every single day. I do hand work at breaks and lunches at work, and spend most of my days off enjoying my quilting. Thanks for the giveaway! Deb E / Oregon mdenders@msn.com

I have purchased kits, but as of today, I don't think I've finished many. I did a block of the month from Keepsake for Birdies year. One block for each month. I have about 6 of them done. One of our LQS does little kits you can complete at their shop during open house, or take it home. I have completed a few of those. My my big quilt kits I've purchased are still waiting for me to make them. Aack! Not enough hours in the day, but someday. Thanks for hosting the giveaway. Utahoosier at yahoo dot com

I've only made one project from a kit. It was a quilt from a book called "Turning Twenty" if I remember right... it was a few years back now. It was fun having all the fabrics picked out and coordinating, but I also enjoy picking some of my own out sometimes!

i have purchase one holiday kit and it is still on my TO DO list! The HOWDY boy and fabric i ordered to make for my grandsons 1st Birthday in October! I subscribe to Shabby Fabrics by newsletter and youtube. I love the tutorials on a variety of projects...only wish i had more time. thanks

I love Shabby Fabrics. I am enrolled in the COUNT ON IT monthly mini quilt program. The last kit I completed, and it was just yesterday, was my September mini quilt. I gift it each month to my best friend.

Last year I made a cute baby quilt for my first grandson. It had little appliqué owls on it. Now one of my granddaughters is expecting her first baby early next year.Thanks, PeggyPeggy_verdongibbs@att.net
